How Long Blues - Skip James

How long

Baby, how long

That ev’nin' train been gone?

So long, honey, so long

I got to the station

When she left town

I’m blue an disgusted

I didn’t know where to be bound

Howlin', how long

Baby, how long

Honey, how

How long, baby

That ev’nin' train been gone?

But so long

Baby, so long

Honey, so long

How long

Baby, how

Am I to be

Treated wrong?

But in so long

Honey, so long

Honey, so

(Piano solo)

How long

Baby, how

Why must I keep my

Watch in pawn?

But so long

Baby, so long

Honey, so

How long

Baby, how

How long, to sing this

But honey

Honey, so long

And baby, so

(Piano to end)
